SAVSYS & Break Messages - V5R4

List,

We attempted an unattended SAVSYS this weekend. Our default is to not
break for messages during the back-up.

And yet, the system sat and waited at a break message, CPF3777 to let
us know that there were 2 libraries partially saved ! I discovered this
Sunday morning when I tried to VPN into my system and TCP was not
running. I ended up making a trip to town to answer the message and
allow the system to complete the save.

In talking to my system administrator today, he said this was the third
time this halt had happened. He had thought he hadn't set the message
queue properly before and so had triple checked things this time.

Has this happened to anyone else ? I'm off to search thru the APAR's &
PTF's.

TIA,
Cyndi B.
